About

Sewing Tour 2012My mission is to navigate the country promoting people's creativity, providing a tangible patch of their ideas, and to teach how to use alternative energy sources.

My name is Paul Nosa, I'm an Artist that draws with a sewing machine. My designs are not pre-drawn nor do I use a computer or template; this is a non-traditional method of using a conventional sewing machine. I am self-taught and have been sewing for the past eight years.

I ask people to think of a scenario in '5-words-or-less', and I sew my interpretation on the spot onto a piece of fabric or 'patch'.

The sewing machine is mounted to my Solar Sewing Rover; a portable table powered by a solar panel and a bicycle electric generator.

People can ride the bicycle and generate electricity to make their own patch.
